Supporting Play through Playwork

Kerrie Manderson

Dip. Playwork

Kerrie’s adventures in playwork began in 2004 when she stumbled across Phoenix Adventure Playground in Wolverhampton, went to register her daughter and came away signed up as a volunteer herself! A few months later she secured a full time Playworker job and life changed forever.

As well as directly supporting a wide range of play opportunities with children, Kerrie’s practical skills include developing exciting play environments. As a tutor for Design and Build courses she shares her expertise with other Playworkers all over the country, helping them to build play structures from scratch.

Kerrie is currently a senior Playworker at Sycamore Adventure in Dudley doing what she loves best – working with amazing children and families.
